Apprehension (After finally deciding on a name I swear to god-)

25- Messenger

Diamond's P.O.V

'Oh, I have so much to tell you!' Pencil exclaimed. We were walking towards Four who had extended his hand and made an arrow with his fingers, somehow. Pencil and Bubble were talking nonstop and we were all silent. Me and Mic were trying to listen to what they were saying. Liy was behind us, looking around the scene and sometimes laughing at memories about her time on the show.

'Hey, you think they'll ever stop?' Microphone whispered to me.

'She's been trapped in EXIT for longer than would be legal back in my world, let her be.' I said. Mic saw my point and shut up for the 10 minutes it took is to reach Four. Pencil was telling Bubble about EXIT and what it was like, while Bubble kept Pencil up with Iance. 

Wen we finally reached Four he returned his hand to the length is should've been and grabbed us all without saying a word, his pink finger a bit looser as to not pop Bubble. He ate us all and Bubble shrieked for a split second in fear of the white light, while Pencil did as well but it was more silent. We all landed on the floor me nearly falling in the same position as before but dodging every branch and landing on my feet. Pencil and Bubble were holding hands on the way down while Mic did a cannonball and Liy screamed in excitement rather than fear.

As we walked in, Bubble started to look a bit worried. 

'Hey, you alright?' Pencil asked softly.

'Yeah, I'm alright..' She muttered.

'Look, you can come to me about anything!' Pencil assured her while gently patting her on the back.

'I-It's about Evil Leafy.. I was friends with Leafy in season 1, and when everyone betrayed her I joined in with the majority.. if I stuck with her, could I have stopped all of this?' She sobbed.

'Look, Bubble, don't put the blame on yourself. Almost all of us voted for Leafy, but rejected her as soon as we heard the story before seeing her side of it. We all messed up, okay?'

'That makes me feel a little better..'

They held hands and tried to cheer each other up, but me and Microphone knew that they were both hurt by how rude they were.

'You buying it?' Microphone asked me.

'Nope.' I replied. We both decided to look around, even though we knew what we would see, while staying silent. We were greeted by Knife and Trophy wrestling on the floor. Pencil ran and threw Trophy off of Knife. She helped Knife onto his feet.

'HEY, HOW DID YOU KNOW I STARTED IT?' Trophy yelled, though it was muffled as he fell flat on his face. 

'I saw you kick Knife from a distance.' Pencil said. She turned around and winked at us, and we all laughed. We all walked in the door, surprised at how silent it was.

'WE'RE HERE-' We yelled, but noticed everyone in the corner. There would normally be a few people 

'Wait, I should go see what's happening.' I told them. I walked over and saw everyone crowding around Suitcase, Test Tube beside her, while her eyes looked empty and her mouth was loosely open. I joined in with the silence, looking at her with squinted eyes.

After a few minutes, Suitcase woke up and blinked her eyes a bit. She looked around and was shocked to see everyone, except for Mic, Pencil, Bubble and Liy who were trying to break up Knife and Trophy, staring at her hoping for a message. She looked next to her, and Test Tube looked at her with a glare of, hey, you can tell me and I'll tell them.

She whispered something to Test Tube and she let out a sigh of relief. Everyone started to seem a little less stressed.

'She says that Leafy is fine, a happy memory is keeping her sane.'

Everyone cheered and lifted their hands in the air. Some people weren't too happy about it, though everyone else was happy for her. She went through a lot, so the fact that she was alright was comforting for almost all of us. 

Suitcase walked over to her desk soon after and swung her legs under her desk while talking to Balloon. I ran outside as soon as the crowd departed, hoping Knife and Trophy hadn't killed themselves. Turns out they just injured each other. When I stepped out, the four were flopped on the floor and the wrestlers had dented metal and possible broken bones.

'What happened!?' I cried.

'We tried, but they are inseparable when they fight..' Said an exhausted Microphone.

'These guys are permanent enemies!' Yelled Liy as she jumped to her feet, then collapsing back on the floor.'

This was never going to end, even when Evil Leafy is defeated.

Marshmallow's P.O.V

We knew we were screwed. I knew we were going to probably die. We glanced at each other before turning around, then rotated our whole body to face who had caught us. Apple was so shocked that she dropped the MePhone, it flipped us off and then ran back inside.

It was Steve Cobs, the owner or Meeple.

'Uhh, who is he?' Apple whispered to me shakily.

'He owns the place..' I whispered back. Apple widened her eyes as soon as I finished. I turned around and Dough waved at me, disappearing once again. I was getting sick of it.

'So.. why DID you steal from us, rather than just buying something..?' He asked us slowly.

'First, it's to save you, your butt and your company. Second, even is we weren't, your prices are higher than the building itself!' I yelled at him. 

'oh, how adorable, you think you can get away with lying!' he laughed. 

'I'm not lying..' I muttered under my breath. 

'Guards.' He demanded as he clapped his hands twice. The MePhones came towards us and grabbed our hands and feet, as we tried to break free. Apple kept on swearing at Cobs, but I was aware it would do nothing. Where was Bow when we needed her most?

I was blacked out for a while, but when I woke up we were in a black room with a locked metal door and a vent in the corner. It was a while until Apple woke up as well.

'Huh..? Where are we? What happened? Why are we here' Apple asked me with a worried tone as she almost choked me. I pulled her off a bit too forcefully as she hit the floor with a huge thud.

'OW!' She screamed. I helped her up and rubbed her head while trying to calm down. 

'Sorry, Apple.. On the other hand, I have no idea how we're gonna escape.' 

A few days later..

Apple sat in the corner nibbling a little bit of herself she forced me to chop off. I was also forced to take a little part of myself off and eat it. They never visited us or gave us anything in the few days we were there. I was always staring at the vent. The second day, we were trying to throw the other onto the vent to crawl out, but we only fell onto the floor. We would laugh about the recent mess-up if it was brought up.

We were bored and ran out of things to talk about, so all that was left to do was lie on the floor and stare at the black ceiling we saw a lot of times before. Then we heard a familiar voice boom out of nowhere.

'Hey, dolls!'
